ALL SAINTS SUNDAY
November 5
During communion on All Saints Weekend, worshippers will be welcome to light a candle in remembrance of the saints in their life. New this year, we are also encouraging people to bring in pictures of saints in their lives who now rest in Jesus’ arms. We’ll place the pictures on tables in the sanctuary, as a reminder that in Christ we remain connected to all the saints: past, present, and future.
